As we enter this wacky offseason, none of us know what to expect. Will we have fans or not? How long will the season be? Will it be another bubble season or will the teams be travelling? What we do know is that there is an NHL Draft scheduled for October 6th-7th. The Free Agent Frenzy was moved up to October 9th because the teams need something to do. Of course, I am being factious. I have no idea why they moved it up.
Some teams will be scrambling to stay under the cap. Others, like Montreal and Ottawa, will be opening up for business. The management of every team is trying to nail down what kind of team they want? I am not sure every team knew who they were, much less how to win a championship in this environment. If you don't know what kind of team you want, how can you expect success?
Brad Treliving's future may be on the line. It is vital for the Flames to get this offseason right. Brad Treliving: The Clock is Ticking
Flames management has to figure what kind of coach they want. Picking the right coach for the team is a process; that is why it is so vital for the Flames to come to a landing on this team's direction.
Picking a coach will ultimately determine the fate of Gaudreau. In order for the Flames to make a decision on Gaudreau, the new coach's hiring process should be done or close to it.
This offseason is short, so time is of the essence.
